To be an effective advocate, you must make it as easy as possible for the judge to follow your argument. This is all the more true in a virtual environment. Join us for the third installment of our Virtual Advocacy Fridays series and find out how to effectively lead a judge through a book of authorities, key documents and demonstrative evidence online.
Esteemed members of the bench will provide timely and practical advice on how to best present the law and evidence to support your case at your next virtual hearing. Leading practitioners will then model these tips as part of a practical demonstration and commentary.
Topics Include:
- How to help take a judge through lengthy and complex documents online
- Effective use of highlighting, annotation, zoom-in/zoom-out, presentation software and other visual aids
- Tips for virtual hearings with CaseLines vs. without CaseLines
- The importance of organizational tools like hyperlinking and compendiums in virtual hearings
- Pacing and how long to screen share important passages
- Best practices for digital document management
